Zimbabwean authorities impounded a cargo plane carrying a consignment for the South African Reserve Bank after a body was discovered on board.
“The police are now handling the issue and the plane, which is owned by Western Global Airlines, has been grounded at Harare International Airport since Sunday,” Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe Chief Executive Officer David Chawota said by phone. The plane, en route to South Africa from Germany, landed in Harare after requesting permission to refuel when the body was discovered, he said.
